✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 213 endorsements and over 12k downloads.
- Targets a common pain point: making off-meta builds actually work.
- Actively maintained (last updated March 2025).
⚠️ Cons
- Only buffs skills—no nerfs or reworks, so balance may skew toward power creep.
- Requires Reframework, which is an extra dependency to install and update.
- No detailed list of which skills are changed, so you'll need to test in-game.
For players who love experimenting with unconventional builds and want more options without overhauling the whole game. If you're a meta-chaser or prefer vanilla balance, this might not be for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Reframework is installed and updated to the latest version before adding this mod.
- After installing, load your save and test a few of your favorite quirky skills to see the changes.
- Check the mod's page for any updates or compatibility notes if you're using other gameplay mods.
